I remember the first 1200 job was in San Diego where they devloped
the controls and they had a sofware engineer in the parking lot in a
trailer writing software, they got the job running but almost no
dispatching. This was pre personal compters days and they had a data
terminal in the mr with no crt to talk to the computer. I think the
next job was that Flamingo Hotel in Vegas and that was modded by
Otis. The first jobs had that US home made optical encoder, do they
still use that???
